What if the player was capable of leaping great distances? Or even capable of limited flight? Here's an idea for a new magical travel item: the Jump Pearl.
A Jump Pearl would work similar to an enderpearl. You hold it in your hand, you toss it, and you travel in the direction you threw it. But there's one big difference. You don't teleport. Instead the jump pearl is consumed the second it leaves your hand, and you are accelerated through the air in the direction you threw it. It instantly applies momentum to the player. Basically, it's a way of throwing yourself.
You'd travel at the same speed, and over the same distance as an enderpearl. However unlike an enderpearl you could travel even further, because nothing prevents you from throwing a second one while you're in midair, and giving you another acceleration boost in the direction of your choice. So by tossing a few jump pearls in quick succession, you can actually fly around for a bit. Jump pearls would still cause a bit of damage upon use though, and you'd also have to watch out for fall damage as well, so that would prevent people from zipping around non-stop. Plus they would only stack to 16.
Exactly how much damage would a player take for using a pearl? Perhaps make it such that the more pearls you use, the final few would take lesser damage?
Rabbits don't exist in Minecraft. I was thinking that maybe this is flying-related, it could be a drop from a bat. An uncommon drop.

Don't argue with idiots. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
I agree with you. Though the idea for crafting it with a carrot is not very good. I agree with Sapphiresin that it should be a rare drop of a bat. And it's not the same as an Enderpearl, though it has a similar end result. With Enderpearls you have to wait until it hits something to teleport. So it takes a while to get out of harms way in Hunger Games. With Jump Pearls you get away immediately.
Well, considering the Eye of Ender actually does fly, perhaps instead of it being an Ender Pearl it is an Eye of Ender with something else. I'm not sure what though, probably not a Carrot.

Contrary to many other people's opinions, I think that a carrot is an okay ingredient. But I think it should be more complicated than "CARROT+PEARL=JUMP PEARL!!!!11!". Perhaps an extra ingredient like a slimeball.

Why Minecraft mobs should NEVER have multiple attacks:
- No other PC mobs do. - Mob behaviour is intended to be simple.
Why you should NOT name new "special ability" weapons as "XXX Swords":
- No other swords have special abilities. - Make a new kind of weapon.
Same issue, you can farm carrots and you can farm feathers. The point is, you can just farm the second material to upgrade the first. Considering this is such an advanced upgrade to the Ender Pearl, it needs a rarer item. Such as a Super rare drop from a bat plus an Ender Eye or something harder to obtain.

Ever had something (or somebody) on your railroad that you did not want there?

Support, minus the carrot part
Waaaay better then ended pearls, but all you need besides a pearl is a carrot?
Perhaps a pearl surrounded on four sides by golden carrots?
I used to be chocolate cake.. but then new Minecraft Forums happened..
